| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: By most accounts, ''Electric Version''. |
| 2 | * CoveredUp: "Failsafe" was a minor track off their 2007 album "Challengers". Later that year, it was covered by choir group "The Choir Practice" and said cover was eventually used in the WesternAnimation/MoralOrel episode, "Dumb", (released the following year) which bookended the episode and ended up eclipsing the original as a result. |
| 3 | * GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: A rare example of this for a Canadian band, they’ve always had an easier time getting onto the American charts than the Canadian ones |
| 4 | * SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: "Go Places," especially knowing A.C. Newman wrote it for his wife (whom he had just married at the time), name-dropped her in the lyrics, and and gave it to Music/NekoCase to sing. |
| 5 | * PopCultureIsolation: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] during a live show for iTunes. The band was asked to learn "a rock and roll classic" for French television, only to find that the audience didn't recognize their choice, "[[Music/ElectricLightOrchestra Don't Bring Me Down]]". |
| 6 | * TearJerker: "Failsafe." Especially after hearing its usage in ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel''. |
| 7 | ** Also "Adventures in Solitude," which may also be a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} depending on one's interpretation of the lyrics. |
| 8 | ** "My Rights Versus Yours" is about a divorce, and the mid-'60s Music/BrianWilson sound evokes a wistful mood. Hell, nearly all of ''Challengers'' is a TearJerker in one way or another. |
| 9 | * ViewerGenderConfusion: Dan Bejar sounds quite feminine in certain songs, primarily "Myriad Harbour" and "Jackie, Dressed in Cobras," to the point where some [=YouTube=] comments have assumed it's Neko or Kathryn singing. |
